Looks like it just got released. Downloading now myself. Haven't been able to try it out yet.

Looks like it supports the Xbox controller.. other usb controllers may work as well. Will download and try when I have some free time.

Awesome. Just played some MK2, and it works wonderfully. Only drawback is that it requires the games to have the .smc extension.

SNES roms have .smc extension Only!

It's not required for them to work in most emulators. In fact, out of the hundreds of roms that I have only one had that extension.

It's just had a great update, exactly what I was hoping for:

XBox controller support
2 player multiplayer
:) :) :)

All we need now is for the display to rescale when you remove the onscreen touch controls

I've just tried this out briefly so far and it works fantastic, especially with an xbox360 controller. I haven't tried many games yet, but Mario Kart controlled poorly for me, otherwise it is real slick.
